Hi Roland,
couldn't you rewrite your plugin to be an extension to the wonderful 
Spam Karma? Also take a look into Spam Karma to find a solution for your 
form-manipulation problem ... it has a similiar method of sending a 
md5-hash with each comments (but it doesn't block out people without 
javascript).

Secondly, wordpress is capable of manipulating the .htaccess file, your 
plugin isn't ... why? Also, fail gracefully instead of always dying on 
the user ... if something is not configured correctly or the server 
doesn't support certain functions DON'T EVER DIE! When do coders realize 
that everytime they do this god kills a cute little kitten? Don't do it! 
You may have learned that in a computational engineering class and it 
was a good practise, but it really sucks in the real world ... 
especially if it's a plugin that is killing the main application :-/

Just my 2 cents,
Sebastian
